Week of September 6, 2009 - September 12, 2009

Notes semi-relevant to 9/11 but mostly critical of RNC types


My son turned eight this year. He was born in April of 2001. That morning, I was in the Baltimore Convention Center, getting ready for the day. My wife called. She was listening to Howard Stern. Someone flew into the World Trade Center. Minutes later, a cable patch was displaying CNN. The second plane hit.

I believe the White House knew something was coming, neglected to mobilize anything since they needed a rationale for their pre-ordained war in Iraq, and that they underestimated what those people could actually pull off. If you trusted them, then you probably shouldn't be trusted either. Today Republicans want to smear everything good, and refuse to be held accountable for what they've done. "Let's not look at the past, we'd rather move forward to an imaginary 1950s.

Clinton could never have been impeached without the thick vein of hatred expressed in the RNC, which operates back-channel dialog with its constituency via the hateful talking heads they bankroll. They aggressively undermined the Presidency immediately, apparently threatened by such a successful and popular President. That was a threat to their grandiose worldview, where opposing opinions are pointless distractions. They know it all, and that's that. Never mind that they're always wrong these days, and they want to rule the world, globalize, and keep such a parochial perspective despite their Grandiose Ossified Perspective which would deny any value in the rest of the world aside from the OPEC industry, which is the only thing they protect. Even privacy, on which their do-it-yourself (or go-fuck-yourself) philosophy depends, is negotiable.

Now they're denegrating the Presidency again, but the party has shrunk to the dregs. Bigots, weridos and glassy-eyed armageddonists. Tax cheats, philanderers, drug addicts, gamblers, liars, morons. Will we tolerate this? How do they dominate the news? They demanded their children be 'protected' from the President's message. They live in a fantasy world where they can sustain denial of his American Birth.

I'm raising my son to be skeptical of authority, but especially of crowds and conventional wisdom. Common sense is not common, entertainment is not the same as art, and the Republican Party is not the one my grandfather believed in. Can't be. He was sane, practical, concerned with the common good.

I would like some lawyers to prepare an injunction, a very general one, to be used whenever the RNC attempts anything. No meetings should be allowed without a censor for bullshit. And if they're so angry, let's send them to Afghanistan to complete the work they failed to do when it was their call.

Saxby Chambliss can eat shit


Show some humility? The President of the United States? You're a representative of what? Who did you think you were when you were sucking off that last 'President', the jackass from Texas?
Shove it Saxby. Both your names trigger spell check, just like 'creationism'.
Freak.
